The European Voyages of Exploration: The Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries.
During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries two nations, Portugal and Spain, pioneered the European discovery of sea routes that were the first channels of interaction between all of the world's continents, thus beginning the process of globalisation in which we all live today. This tutorial introduces the student to these two pioneering nations, their motivations, their actions, and the inevitable consequences of their colonisation. This tutorial also examines the geographical, technological, economic, political, and cultural patterns of that era.

Who Goes There: European Exploration of the New World.
Created by Bartlett Elementary School, this site introduces you to some of the great explorers that filled in the map with lands that were previously unknown to Europeans. You will learn why they sailed, where they sailed, what they found, and how they treated each other and the people that they met.
